• Directory location: Harrisonburg, Virginia
• Verified pathways: MSN and DNP
• Official evidence checked: July 21, 2026
• Clinical population: adults and older adults with stable or chronic conditions that benefit from ongoing care
• Setting landscape: internal medicine, adult primary care, geriatrics, community health, long-term care, chronic disease management, and approved specialty primary-care settings
• Approval authority: the student's current program

Treat the pathway list as an evidence boundary, not a summary of school policy. The official pages establish the AGPCNP credential routes shown here, while the current handbook and program contact remain the authorities for hours, sites, preceptors, forms, and deadlines.

Official James Madison University sources checked July 21, 2026 support the MSN and DNP pathway record. Public program evidence answers whether the pathway is represented here, but the program must answer the separate questions about objectives, geography, hours, eligibility, and approval.

• Official AGPCNP source 1, MSN: Official page identifies the active MSN AGPCNP concentration.
• Official AGPCNP source 2, DNP: Official page identifies the AGPCNP BSN-to-DNP concentration.

These citations are included for verification, not as an endorsement of our service. Read the current official page and ask the program to confirm any requirement that affects the proposed preceptor or site.

Keep continuity at the center of the AGPCNP request. The student needs supervised primary-care work with adults and older adults, including health promotion, chronic disease management, medication review, and age-aware follow-up. The approved course objectives determine whether a particular practice fits.

Potential settings include internal medicine, adult primary care, geriatrics, community health, long-term care, chronic disease management, and approved specialty primary-care practices. A setting name alone proves nothing. Patient mix, continuity, supervised activities, and course objectives must align before the program reviews it.

The record identifies MSN and DNP. Those credential labels help route the inquiry, but they do not reveal the student's entry point, course sequence, remaining hours, or clinical dates. Bring the exact course and current plan of study into the search so a pathway label is never treated as a policy.

Translate each objective into observable primary-care work before outreach. One course may emphasize prevention and diagnostic reasoning, while another may emphasize chronic disease management, medication review, care coordination, or age-aware follow-up. This objective map helps avoid a willing candidate whose daily role cannot support the required experience.

National figures are context, not a James Madison University requirement. The 2022 NTF standards recommend at least 750 direct patient care hours for an NP population track. ANCC and AANPCB eligibility materials use at least 500 faculty-supervised clinical hours as a floor. Programs may set different totals and distributions, so confirm the student's exact AGPCNP requirement with the program.

Use the AGPCNP clinical hours guide for national context and the preceptor requirements guide for screening questions. Neither guide replaces the program's current instructions.

Credentials start the review, but they do not finish it. We gather the prospective preceptor's license, certification, current primary-care role, experience, patient population, site, and availability. The student's program applies its own current criteria and makes the approval decision.

The directory lists James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. That is a planning anchor, not a statement about where students may complete clinical work. Confirm the student's authorized geography before outreach, since travel, licensure, site access, and program rules can change the practical search area.

The AGPCNP placement guide for Virginia adds state-level context for internal medicine, adult primary care, geriatrics, community health, and long-term care. Apply the exact location and approval rules confirmed by the student's program.

• The exact course, clinical objectives, term dates, and remaining approved hours
• The approved geography, adult-gerontology population, continuity objectives, and setting
• The proposed clinician's license, certification, specialty, primary-care role and availability
• The site's practice setting, patient mix, and opportunities tied to the objectives
• Every current preceptor, site, compliance, and submission form supplied by the program

Document the match in the program's own terms. The file should show candidate qualifications, adult-gerontology primary-care role, site context, objective alignment, dates, and availability. The school can require additional review or documents that we cannot approve.

Bring the current syllabus or checklist, the student's schedule and geography, the adult-gerontology primary-care objectives, the remaining approved hours, and the candidate forms. That evidence keeps the search aligned and gives the program a clear proposal to consider.

AGPCNP Preceptor has no affiliation with James Madison University. We help students search for potential primary-care preceptors and sites, subject to the program's current rules and final approval. No page, conversation, or submitted form creates a guarantee.
